Tchan,

Definately nice. i love the bezels; they fit perfectly. Looks OEM

Hey did you need to cut/shave/modifiy the sc projector some so that when you put the headlight back together, it wont interfere with each other( projector and chrome housing)? (I hope i explained myself well there.)

Well these are not done just yet. But keep a look out for my finished thread about a few weeks or so from now. Remind me there please. Then we can do a show and tell!

Okay pm me and we can talk about pricing then.

You know usually lightwerkz (a retrofitter in the US) charges about 700-1000 for labor alone. Kinda high if you ask me but iono. But it is alot of work, time and patience.

OKAY so i decided to just put this together to take some pictures of my progress. I dont have the high beam reflector on there; thats why something may look like its missing from the high beam. But here is what it will kind of look like (for now). I have yet to use an ace flange for a bezel. We'll see.

Its a nice day here in Houston, Texas.

hey mahcah
I think it looks all right without the ace flange- your modified bezel looks all right!

Great job. Did you try to adjust the lights up and down yet? Cause couple of times I thought I was done and I put everything together and tried adjusting the height. It either won't move or it popped it out of place. So I had to open it up and dremel some more stuff out (multiple times). So make sure first, don't put everything back together yet and cause a bunch of headaches like me. Good luck!
